WESTON, Fla. (AP) - May 9, 2008 --

It wasn't a gator blocking a Florida highway. It was Gatorade. A tractor trailer ran off U.S. 27 near the town of Weston on the edge of the Everglades. The big rig spilled its load of Gatorade bottles several miles from I-75.

Some lanes were closed to traffic until a front end-loader arrived to scoop up the mess.
